What to Expect
- Collapsible floor
- Spawning/respawning monsters
Known Traps
- There is fairly dangerous fire trap down the first corridor, between the last two pillars; control panel is on the east wall just before the trap.
- Poison trap down the next corridor, where it expands; no control panel, but easily avoidable.
- Cold trap further down the corridor, at the corner; control panel is on the east wall past the trap.
- Poison trap just beyond; control panel is on the east wall past the trap.
- Western Wing
- The first large room contains a large spike trap; control panel is on the north wall, east of the door. Spikes don't activate until after pulling either one of the levers (either to the south or north).
- Fire dart (does fire and bludgeon damage) trap along the hallway; control panel is on the south face of the first pillar.
- Eastern Wing
- Spike and dart traps before the door at the end of the corridor; control panel on the floor the near doorway, pull the third lever (nearest the door) to open the door. The other levers activate the traps
- There is an area where the floor drops into a shallow pit with some oozes; no way to prevent this.
Tips and Misc
- To receive this quest, you have to speak to Hargo Kimmare twice, then speak to Delera. See Return to Delera's Tomb
- There is just one Shrine, so be wise with your buffs and spell point use.
- In the first major room with 8 levers, you only need to pull the second one on the left to open the door to continue the quest. The other 7 will spawn skeletons.
- Stepping on the pressure plates in the large central room will both open the associated door and spawn an undead ambush (one ambush for each plate, so one at a time if your party is not strong).
- Minor bug: When fighting the necromancer at the end, as soon as you kill him, most of the undead in the room will die as well. Therefore, it's usually a good idea for everyone to focus on him first – however, avoid killing him too quickly, as if you kill him in under ~2 seconds, the script that kills all his undead minions will not activate.
- Warning: This boss necromancer has the Phantasmal Killer spell, which can instantly slay a player if they fail both saves. Having either Death Ward or greater heroism buffs are recommended to prevent this. If neither are available, an item with Deathblock will work.
- The locked chests at the end have a very low unlock DC. You can use Knock scrolls from The Marketplace vendor if you don't have another way to do unlock them; on elite you just need a roll of 10 for the right one and 14 for the left one.
- There is a lever at the back of the room in which the end fight takes place that will open the gate to return to the rest of the dungeon, if needed.
- To complete the Quest chain and receive the reward, speak with Delera in her Tomb after completing this quest.
